Core Tip A total of 223 patients with congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) who underwent extrahepatic bile duct resection were retrospectively examined to clarify the clinical impact of hepatolithiasis (HL) that developed after CBD surgery. Among these 223 patients, 15 (6.7%) developed HL. Among these 15 patients, 2 developed biliary cirrhosis: (1) One died of liver failure; and (2) The other required liver transplantation. Two additional patients required major hepatectomy. Most of the remaining 11 patients underwent repeated hospitalization for lithotomy. Statistical analysis revealed that older age at the time of CBD surgery was an independent risk factor for the development of HL.
